I don’t think this plays out this way in reality. Look at music streaming. Record labels are still important to making or breaking music careers even in the age where any artist is discoverable, there is no ‘switching cost’ and there is 0 cost of production and distribution (making and shipping CDs). In a world where attention is scare I sadly think big corps and power brokers will still play a large role. Maybe not though.
